  • Oh, yeah….I guess it is!  I've been so busy in 2009 already, I can hardly keep up.  So here's what's been going on lately. It still feels like Christmas over at the T household.  On January 2nd, the kids got a nice sized delivery at the door from Amazon.com.  My mom (of course) is still…

  • With the company we were hosting all leaving today, things have started to resemble somewhat of life as usual around here.  The kids were sad to see their Grammy & Popo leave today, along with Auntie, Uncle Gui, and Uncle Alby.  After they had all driven away, I headed upstairs with them to play a…

  • Gingerbread House making:    We finished ours on Sunday and the boys had a blast.  N did most of the decorating while W ate most of the sugared candies and gumdrops.  We did, however, manage to find a small job that he quite enjoyed helping with.  Placing gumdrops around the house. On Tuesday it was time…

  • Mini-mechanics.

    ,

    N & W love playing mechanic. They love to work on their Wiggles Big Red Car and pretend to fix it under the hood and smooth out the paint job.  No doubt they've garnered some inspiration from my dad, whom they've witnessed working on real cars.  The other morning after breakfast they were content with…

  • I'm very excited about this month for many reasons.  Not only is it a countdown to celebrate and give thanks for the birth of Jesus, but it's such a beautiful time of year to laugh and share with family and friends.  I'll also get to see my little N make his acting debut as Joseph…

  • I love Legos.  N and W really enjoy making the examples that the little booklets that come with the Legos suggest and also coming up with their own creations.   I love that they are multi-generational and timeless.  Oh, and one toy you can never have too much of.   ♥  

  •   So thankful today for sibling love.  This morning I decided to forego my usual gym routine and bail on my cardio kickboxing class so that the kids and I could just have some downtime and clean their playroom along with various other parts of the house.  After we finished up I headed downstairs to put a few things…

  • Golf outing.

    , ,

    N is out on a golf outing with D today and I'm excited to hear how it went.  This is the first time since W's been born that N's gotten a chance to go sans his little brother.  He and W went a few months ago with D and halfway through the outing he asked…

  • Today was the day we decided to finally get carving the mini pumpkin patch that was growing on the kitchen counter. D is a master carver and the kids enjoyed helping gut the pumpkins, paint, and even cut some.  It's times like today that make me realize how blessed I am to have such a…

  • I love to bake.  That's no secret.  But, I also like hassle-free food and fun when it comes to getting the kids involved.  The other day while grocery shopping, I noticed that the Pillsbury Halloween themed cookies were on sale.   You know, the kind that you just break off then put on the cookie sheet…
